This allows to avoid polluting your class with a pointer to access the shortcut. You may still want to add a pointer to the shortcut if you want to access it later on.

It turned out that I was lead down a wrong path by putting the layout as the layout of a widget. The actual way to do this is as simple as: scrollarea = QScrollArea(parent.widget()) layout = QVBoxLayout(scrollarea) realmScroll.setWidget(layout.widget()) layout.addWidget(QLabel(“Test”)) Which I’m pretty sure I tried originally, but hey it’s working.

Headline: QQmlApplicationEngine is newer and more powerful than QQuickView. QQmlApplicationEngine exposes some central application functionality to QML, which QQuickView application would normally control from C++: Connecting Qt.quit() to QCoreApplication::quit() Automatically loads translation files from an i18n directory adjacent to the main QML file. Automatically sets an incubation controller if the scene contains a QQuickWindow. Automatically … Read more
You need to print selectedColor().name() to print the actual color value in hex. See the QColor Documentation
After several days of search with no progress, we stumbled upon a QT bug: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-28766 With QT5, in addition to expected QT libraries, msvcr100.dll, and msvcp100.dll; it turns out that you have to ship your application with: platforms/qminimal.dll platforms/qwindows.dll as well.
